《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》2.6 - The Mimic
Advertisement
[Vince is back in his classroom, everybody working while Mr Hyde is typing on his laptop. He looks above him at a clock pointing to be half past 4. He gets up, stretching his arm a bit.]
Hyde: Sorry, I’ve lost track of time, it’s the end of day folks.
[Vince looks over to Hyde while the rest of the students turn off their computers and prepare to leave. He notices Hyde’s phone next to the laptop buzzing quickly from notifications. He gets up from his computer and sees the text hidden, but from someone called “Witley Barbit”. He thinks for a moment, but stops once Hyde picks up his phone and looks it over. He turns off his computer and gets his bag.]
Vince: Have a good day, sir.
Hyde: [distracted] You too.
[Vince opens the door and leaves the room, but stumbles as something hits his leg. He falls into the wall and looks down to see Cheshire, who is purring and now has orange spots across his black fur. The other students leave the room, taking notice of Cheshire, as Liv barges her way through and picks him up.]
Liv: There you are! You silly thing…
[She pets him in her arms as Leigh and Chelsea come over.]
Chelsea: Hey Vince.
Vince: [thinking] Hey guys.
Leigh: Want a lift? We’re heading to the club house.
Vince: [thinking] Why are we doing that?
Leigh: Little showcase. Our powers. You in?
[Vince looks at his reflection in the door, smiling.]
Vince: Yeah, sounds good.
[The group move, Vince following behind them as Liv continues to play with Cheshire in her arms. After that it cuts to show Vince, Liv and Cheshire at the back garden of the house, the windows all boarded up and the grass overgrown. There’s a large portion in the garden where the grass has been stomped down and there is a goal that has been abandoned. Immediately Vince walks over to it, grabbing the top and hanging with his arms.]

Vince: [curious] Hey, so where is Gary? I thought he'd be here.
Liv: Oh, you know him, he's just... coping with stuff. Getting used to it, y'know?
Vince: Yeah, that's fair. So… who’s going first?
[Liv looks at Vince and Cheshire.]
Liv: Well… we certainly have our options.
Leigh: Here you are!
[Leigh and Chelsea exit from the building. Both are carrying toy balls, Chelsea trying to juggle two as they come out. Leigh throws one over at Vince.]
Leigh: [smug] Mind if I go first? I fancy showing off.
[Vince shrugs, moving out of the goal.]
Vince: Just make sure I go last.
[Vince moves next to Liv as Chelsea moves next to him. Leigh moves into the goal and stretches his arms. He turns to face the group, big smile on his face, and throws over the balls that he’s carrying to Vince who catches them.]
Leigh: Okay… chuck em over.
[Vince and Liv look at each other.]
Liv: [hesitant] Um, Leigh, I don’t think I wa-
[Chelsea gives a loud battlecry and throws a ball overhead at Leigh. He raises his hand and ends up catching the ball. He sighs.]
Chelsea: I thought you were psychic and all.
Leigh: [smug] Just a warm up, it’s just a warm up!
[He throws the ball up and hits it back over to Chelsea.]
Leigh: Gimme time, throw some more.
Vince: When do we stop?
Leigh: When I can do it properly?
[The group shrugs and start throwing balls at Leigh again. The first two he normally catches and throws back. He reaches up to get the third one, causing it to pull down into his hands.]
Leigh: [happy] See! Did it!
[He throws the ball back, moving to catch another and completely missing. The ball flies back into the bushes.]

Liv: Nevermind.
[She throws the ball at Leigh, hitting him in the head.]
Chelsea: [offended] Hey!
Liv: [defensive] I thought that he’d catch it!
Chelsea: [offended] Well obviously not!
[Vince throws another ball at Leigh. He raises a hand and it stops mid air.]
Vince: Want a break?
Leigh: Thank you.
[Leigh comes back over, Vince patting Leigh on the back.]
Vince: Who next then?
Liv: Well… I can’t because mine would involve stabbing someone or… breaking a finger.
Chelsea: And I’d have to get coffee from somewhere.
Liv: [realization] Oh my god! Cheshire can do it!
[Cheshire purrs and walks forward, Liv petting behind his ear as his colour starts changing again.]
Leigh: Come on, we already know what your cat can do.
Chelsea: Are you really keeping the cat?
Liv: [happy] Yes… yes I am.
[Liv smiles as Vince folds his arms, subtly scratching behind his right ear while Cheshire slowly fades into white with bright blue eyes.]
Vince: Well… I guess it’s my turn then.
Chelsea: Yeah, good idea! But we’d need to go somewhere with a…
[Chelsea and Leigh look at Vince and freeze in surprise as they see Vince’s eyes and hair start to glow. He looks over at them from the side and smiles abnormally wide.]
Vince: [surprised] Tada.
[Vince breaks into a chuckle as Liv turns around and notices, stopping petting Cheshire as they were purple with white stripes and yellow eyes.]
Liv: [surprised] Oh my god!
[Vince stops, laughing to himself, as his hair settles on blue and his eyes settle to be green and brown.]
Leigh: [surprised] What the hell? That’s so cool!
Chelsea: [surprised] Nice colours…
Liv: [surprised] Wait, so… are you the cat then?
[Vince chuckles, shaking his head and walking into the goal.]
Vince: [nervous] Well, it’s kinda hard to explain.
Leigh: [surprised, curious] Well explain it then!
[Leigh throws the ball at Vince, who holds his hand up straight and stops the ball in front of him. He waves it to the side and the ball drifts slowly back over to Leigh. He smiles again, his hair and eyes returning to brown.]
Vince: [nervous] I can use any power. If I see it.
[Liv smiles wide, very impressed. Leigh takes the ball in shock, trying to speak. Chelsea stutters a bit, trying to speak.]
Vince: Cool, right?

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
